My older bro' introduced me to Tumbleweed Connection in the late 70's - I loved this track so much it stayed with me, My son diiscovered it and it had the same power over him... a beautiful classic by the master of songwriting ... thankyou Elton .
Such an Incredible melody. It ebbs, and flows, casting a spell over the listener. It is both haunting, and serene. It is an amazing piece of music. The pairing of Taupin's lyrics, and Elton's music and voice created one of the brightest moments in rock music's history.
I will forever listen to them "In my Merlin dream...."
Elton's voice is much smoother and softer than on the full studio version. I don't mean softer as in "can't be heard" but as in "thoughtful, caring or melodic". Is there a collection of demos available?
@MusicMadMaurice elton john dick james demo vol. 1/2... or elton john the album, there are also wonderful demos... otherwise u have to download them from youtube! good luck ;)
I have heard a number of versions of this song, and this is far and away my favorite. No slick production overdubs - just a piano, Elton's amazing voice, and Bernie's poetry. Simply mesmerizing!! Thank you!

I have no idea how a melody so beautiful can flow out of someone. It's pure magic what Elton did here.
